If $p$ is any statement $t$ and $c$ are tautology and contradiction respectively, then which of the following is(are) correct?

  1. $p\wedge t \equiv p$
  2. $p \wedge c \equiv c$
  3. $p\vee t \equiv c$
  4. $p \vee c \equiv p$

A,B,D Correct answer
Explanation

Tautology is the preposition which is always true and contradiction is a preposition which is always false.
Here $\wedge \equiv AND, \vee \equiv OR$, $T$=true and $F$=false
Given statement=$p$, tautology=$t$ and contradiction=$c$
a)$p\wedge t\equiv p$ irrespective of value of $p$ as $t=T$ always
And if $p=T$ then $T\wedge T=T$ and if $p=F$ then $F\wedge T=F$
Thus option (a) is correct.
b)$p\wedge c\equiv c$ irrespective of value of $p$ as$ c=F$ always
And if $p=T$ then $T\wedge F=F$ and if $p=F$ then $F\wedge F=F$
Thus option (b) is correct
c)$p\vee t\equiv c$
If $p=T$ then $T\vee T\equiv T\neq c$ and if $p=F$ then $F\vee T\equiv T \neq c$
Thus option (c) is not correct
d)$p\vee c\equiv p$
If $p=T$ then $T\vee F\equiv T$ and if $p=F$ then $F\vee F\equiv F$
Thus it depends on the value of $p$
Hence option (d) is correct

Which one of the following statements is a tautology?

  1. $\left( p\vee q \right) \rightarrow q$
  2. $p\vee (p\rightarrow q)$
  3. $ p\vee (q\rightarrow p)$
  4. $p\rightarrow (p\rightarrow q)$

If $p$ and $q$ are two statement, then $(p  \wedge \sim q) \wedge   (\sim p  \wedge   q)$ is

  1. a fallacy

  2. a tautology

  3. neither tautology nor a fallacy

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
$p$         $q$          $p \land \sim q$       $q \land \sim p $          $(p \land \sim q ) \land(q \land \sim p )$
T T     F       F          F
T F     T       F          F
F T      F       T          F
F F     F       F          F


$\therefore\ (p \land \sim q ) \land(q \land \sim p )$ is a fallacy

If $4.175 = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 0.2395 } $, then what is $\displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 0.0004175 } $ equal to ?

  1. 0.2395

  2. 2395

  3. 2.395

  4. 23.95
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 0.0004175 } = \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ \displaystyle\frac { 4.175 }{ 10000 }  } = \displaystyle\frac { 10000 }{ 4.175 } = \displaystyle\frac { 10000 }{ \displaystyle\frac { 1 }{ 0.2395 }  } $

$= 10000 \times 0.2395 = 2395$

$\displaystyle \frac{\left ( 0.35 \right )^{2}-\left ( 0.03 \right )^{2}}{0.19}=? $

  1. 0.32

  2. 0.48

  3. 0.76

  4. 0.64
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$\dfrac{(0.35)^{2}-(0.03)^{2}}{0.19}$=$\dfrac{(0.35+0.03)(0.35-0.03)}{0.19}$    $[a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)]$


$=\dfrac{(0.38)(0.32)}{0.19}$


$=2\times{0.32}$

$=0.64$

So the correct answer will option D

What is the value of $\displaystyle \left ( 4.7\times13.26+4.7\times9.43+4.7\times77.31 \right )?$

  1. $470$
  2. $235$
  3. $705$
  4. $940$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

given that 

we have find the the value of the expression .

$4.7\times 13.26 +4.7 \times 9.43 +4.7 \times 77.31$

Taking $4.7$ common 

$= 4.7 \times [13.26 + 9.43 +77.31]$

$= 4.7 \times [100]$

$ = 470$

So option $A $ is correct
